^ Funny stuff.
Get me a side view of that Schwann! (Masi is gorgeous too) |
I blush at your kind compliments Magnum PI.
I searched for several years to find that Peloton, then forgot to turn the search-notification off in Ebay, and another one in even better shape came up, so I couldn't not get it. http://www.calamarichris.com/wp-cont...nproject10.jpg http://www.calamarichris.com/wp-cont...elotonside.jpg http://www.calamarichris.com/wp-cont...lotontrip3.jpg The width of this 7803 triple chainring played havoc on my knees, so we're back to a double. http://www.calamarichris.com/wp-cont...loton-snow.jpg http://www.calamarichris.com/wp-cont...-pelotwins.jpg And I bought this Peloton frame as a project for a now ex-) girlfriend. Kinda fun having both the largest and smallest frames Schwinn made in my garage next to each other. (I know very well how pathetic I am.) http://www.calamarichris.com/wp-cont...tonbadges1.jpg And the Masi is currently being built up with a NOS Ultegra 6400 group I've been compiling. http://www.calamarichris.com/wp-cont...816-masi-4.jpg http://www.calamarichris.com/wp-cont...masi-head2.jpg http://www.calamarichris.com/wp-cont...60727-masi.jpg |

Just took this entire thing apart and gave it a good cleaning, greased every bolt before putting it back in, and put new-to-me rolf prima elan wheels on it... first time ever posting a pic of my bike. Hope you guys like. It's a 47cm with 650c wheels.
And yes, it was a triathlon bike, and yes, it is fine as a road bike since it has relaxed seat angle http://vertek.net/slice/slice-09b.jpg |
Aside from the pedals, that's pretty rad.....

It is a sin to post my bike on the same page as the bikes posted by @calamarichris but I'll ride to to the Church tomorrow morning and confess.
New Dura Ace C24 wheels. 1364 grams. Feels noticeably lighter than with the Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels. Can't wait to see how it climbs tomorrow. Looks kinda plain compared to that Mavic bladed spoke bling though. https://www.dropbox.com/s/r4ij8stk6p...16.00.jpg?dl=1 |

Hahaha.. Yeah its noticeably lower when i'm riding next to an average size 700c bike.. In group rides I tell people I have a low-rider because they can literally see right over me. But hey, in my entire life of trying different big wheel bikes, this was the only one that felt natural. I couldn't believe it the first time I sat on it -- the struggles of a vertically challenged person is very real when it comes to road bikes.
Okay, now you need one of these, and a ladder. And a friend with a camera. Share the results here. |

Looks kinda plain compared to that Mavic bladed spoke bling though. They're light as a fart and slicker than owl dung. I'm 190 lbs, so I open up my brake quick releases when climbing, because they flex a little when I stand. And I can also feel them flex when cornering hard on descents (my excessive mass gives me the upper hand on descents), but they have so far always remained true and never any problems. http://www.calamarichris.com/wp-cont...-letape012.jpg |

Oh yeah, forgot to post my Look Equippe (aka Hot-Dog-on-a-Stick Bike) too. Bought it off a nice fellow in the C&V forum and built it up with Dura Ace 7800, and the wonderful C24 wheels. Got rid of the noodly Scott Drop-Ins, and replaced them with the stiffer Nitto/Specialized drop-in bars.

They've got a few other neat vintage kits when you're ready to take your posing to the next level... http://www.calamarichris.com/wp-cont...-velodrome.jpg |

I like the tiled backspash btw. There is a new kitchen in my future and I'm thinking about what I want to do. That Look is killing me. I don't think I've ever seen an ugly one. That and Time. |

My (now ex-) girlfriend and Mom ganged-up against every choice I made when I renovated my place and kitchen (she even hired a decorator to come in and insult my choice ("Sssoooo.... you don't care about the resale value of your place at all then...?") , and now I smile every time I walk into my kitchen as it has become a monument to that hard-won victory. http://www.calamarichris.com/wp-cont...live3kitch.jpg |
I'm afraid you lost me with the McDonald's drop-ins.

Swapped a bunch of parts over from the cannondale and threw the ENVEs on for the photo...think this is pretty much done other than a wheelset somewhere down the road.
